83 VW rabbit pickup
#12
I use to have a VW Rabbit car I got it for free fixed the glow plugs and it ran good I averaged a little over 50 mpg and that was with a fuel leak.
I knew it needed new radiator hoses. I went to town to get them and on my way home the bottom hose broke I couldn't smell or see it (I was driving down a gravel road) The engine temp light came on just as the engine died. Ruined the head
Check your hoses!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet!!
nice one! Take care on the front fenders. They love to have corrosion and rust from the inside!
Did you get a 1.6l Diesel? Or the 1.6 TD? In Germany we had round head lights and a diffrent bumper.
If you have the Turbo Diesel throw a huge intercooler behind the front and you go easy up to 120HP.
There are special oil cooler avialable for that tiny engine. Man, I loved that engine.
I wish you a lot of fun with that roaring diesel.
greetings Michael

Diesel pu
Hey Dubdoc,
What setup do you have with your pu? Do you have a td setup?
I have an 80 pickup that I'm putting in an 85 td with a Garrett T2. I don't know what to expect, but I rebuilt the whole thing right and have yet to put it in. I think it should be much better than the leaking and tired 1.5 na., but have never driven a td vw.
I hope to put in another dash with the tach and cabriolet gauges. Its tough to get time to do it all.
Have fun,
